To the Broken, hopeless, Christian in despair Young, Restful, & Particular Baptist

Are you struggling to know if you are in Christ? Here are 3 reasons why and 3 reasons for hope! ——-“True believers may in various ways have the assurance of their salvation shaken, decreased, or temporarily lost. This may happen because they neglect to preserve it or fall into some specific sin that wounds their conscience and grieves the Spirit. It may happen through some unexpected or forceful temptation or when God withdraws the light of his face and allows even those who fear him to walk in darkness and to have no light. Yet they are never completely lacking the seed of God, the life of faith, love of Christ and the brethren, sincerity of heart, or conscience concerning their duty. Out of these graces, through the work of the Spirit, this assurance may at the proper time be revived. In the meantime, they are kept from utter despair through them.”-1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 18:4
